No fewer than 65 patrol vehicles have been given to a security outfit, G4S Secure Solutions Nigeria Limited, by IHS Nigeria, to enhance its operations.
G4S Secure Solutions Nigeria is the long-term security partner of IHS Nigeria, a subsidiary of IHS Holding Limited and one of the largest independent owners, operators, and developers of shared telecommunications infrastructure in the world by tower count.
The vehicles are fully equipped with customized radio systems, public address systems, medical kits, ladders, and amber lights.
They are expected to significantly enhance G4S’s patrol capabilities and enable proactive risk mitigation across IHS Nigeria’s infrastructure footprint in the country.
At the presentation of the items in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, the Vice President for Operations at IHS Nigeria, Mr Jubril Saba, said, “IHS Nigeria is delighted to formally hand over these Response, Patrol and Escort (RPE) vehicles to our valued security partner, G4S Secure Solutions Nigeria Limited.
“As a company, we recognize that the success of our operations lies not only in our technology and infrastructure but also in the strength of the partnerships we build and sustain.
“G4S has been an essential partner in protecting our sites, supporting our teams, and ensuring operational continuity across the country. This initiative is more than just a commissioning of vehicles; it is a reaffirmation of our commitment to the safety of our people and assets, our drive for operational excellence, and our belief in strong partnerships.
“We understand that securing our infrastructure and communities is critical to sustaining high-quality services nationwide, and we are confident this fleet will enhance G4S’s capacity to support us.”
